Introduction

You use Invoicing to compose invoice lines from various origins on a single invoice for an invoice-to business partner. Invoice lines can originate from the following sources:

  • Sales, for example, sales orders and rebates
  • Project
  • Procurement, for example, purchase orders
  • Warehousing
  • Freight
  • Service, for example, service orders and service calls
  • Interest invoices generated in Accounts Receivable
  • Debit notes and credit notes from Cash Management
  • Sales invoices manually entered in Invoicing

Invoices are generated for these scenarios:

  • Internal material delivery
    In a multicompany structure, invoices can be generated for internal trade between warehouses that are linked to different financial companies.
  • External material delivery
    Invoices can be generated for transactions within a single logistic company that are associated with entities that are linked to different enterprise units.
  • Self-billed invoicing
    Self-billed invoices can be received from customers and matched with sales orders. After matching, an accounts receivable transaction is created in Financials.
  • Internal invoicing

    Internal invoices can be sent from:

    • One warehouse to another warehouse for a warehouse transfer.
    • One work center to another work center for a WIP transfer.
    • A purchase office to a sales office for a direct delivery.
    • A warehouse to a sales office, if a warehouse does not belong to the same financial company as the warehouse that implements the order.
    • A shipping office to a sales office, if the shipping office does not belong to the same financial company as the sales office that ships the goods.
  • Intercompany settlements
    In a multicompany structure, intercompany settlement transactions can be generated instead of regular invoices for transactions between logistic companies that are associated with entities linked to the same financial company.
  • Shipment-based invoicing
    You can base invoicing on the sales amounts of the contract deliverables that are linked to the contract shipments.
